Babette Chatelle-Bergman

My communication style

My communication style is warm, collaborative, and structured. I use a calm, supportive tone with clear, focused questions that help clients identify patterns, and put language to their internal experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to becoming a therapist because of my personal healing experience through the therapeutic process. That led to my curiosity about psychology and the awe inspiring ability of the body, mind, brain, and spirit to heal, especially when provided with appropriate care.

My goals for you

I normalize and validate emotions while offering straightforward psychoeducation when it’s useful, and translate insights into practical, concrete next steps. Balancing validation with gentle challenges, guides clients to examine assumptions, consider alternative perspectives, and build skills they can practice between sessions.

Our first session

The first session will focus on gathering information, understanding your concerns and assessing your needs. We will collaborate on strategies to ease your discomfort and identify goals for treatment.
